Reliability Analysis of Slope Stability under the Condition of Extreme Ice-Snow and Frozen Disaster
Earth and Space 2010, 2010Most areas in south China suffered the rare disaster of low temperature, ice-snow and freezing weather at 2008, which caused serious impact on the society, e.g. power systems, transportation, agriculture and people's living. In this paper, the influence of ice-snow on the infrastructures, such as the slope, is studied; meanwhile the defense work under ...

Quantification of reliability of roofs subjected to snow loadsdetermined by hydrological models
Snow loads exert a significant influence on the structural integrity of buildings in the northern hemisphere, necessitating precise assessment methodologies to ensure the reliability of roofs under this environmental stressor. The determination of roof snow load is intricately linked to evaluating the weight of accumulated snow on the roof surface, a ...Thomas Thiis +3 more

Abstract Performance-based engineering is a new paradigm in structural design for natural hazards. In this paper, the authors explore the problem of estimating regional variations in fractiles of snow load used for design purposes from a limited number of discrete observing stations. The reliability implications of such estimates are examined for the

Despite the widespread research use of Miles and Snow's typology of strategic orientations, there have been no systematic attempts to assess the reliability and validity of its various measures. The present work provides such an assessment using data collected at two points from over 400 organizations in the hospital industry. We examined dimensions of

Reliability analysis of a reinforced concrete structure under a dense snow avalanche loading
2014Cet article propose l’évaluation de la fiabilité d’une structure de protection sous sollicitation avalancheuse (avalanche de neige dense) à l’aide d’un modèle mécano-fiabiliste. Dans un premier temps, des courbes de vulnérabilité précisant l’endommagement et l’atteinte d’états limites en termes mécaniques sont présentées en fonction de l’intensité de l’

Reliability analysis of an RC defense structure loaded by a dense snow avalanche pressure signal
2014To protect humans, roads or houses against snow avalanches, civil engineering structures are widely used. Designing these structures is still a challenge especially due to the uncertainties related to the loading developed by a snow avalanche. The case of the avalanche of Taconnaz (France), which occurred in 1999 and where important parts of the RC ...

The prolonged 2023–2026 drought has exposed critical vulnerabilities in the hydro-infrastructural systems of Southern Italy, where drinking water supply depends on a coupled network of snow-fed reservoirs, spring systems, and karst aquifers. This contribution proposes a multi-hazard analytical framework that links snow drought, hydrogeological deficit,
